Munster’s grip on their Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship crown will face the strongest of tests at Virgin Media Park on Saturday (2:30pm) as arch rivals Leinster arrive in Cork with revenge on their minds following last season’s heavy final defeat.

The 2025 campaign, conducted largely without any Ireland internationals available for any of the provinces ahead of last autumn’s World Cup, saw Leinster denied a hat-trick of consecutive titles as a Maeve Óg O’Leary-captained side swept all before them in the round-robin stages and then inflicted a 50-15 hammering on the defending champions in Dublin.
